According to the accident report, the vehicle entered the grass median, it then re-entered the southbound lanes. The vehicle then began to overturn a number of times in the southbound lanes. It came to an uncontrolled final rest in the southbound lane facing north.

The driver, Montrez Kelly, the only occupant involved in the accident, was trapped inside the vehicle.

Kelly stated that the steering wheel failed and would not turn, causing him to lose control.

Due to the damage done to the vehicle, the investigating trooper was unable to verify the operation of the steering.

Officers on the scene stated that wearing his lap and shoulder belt very possibly saved the driver's life. When vehicles overturn, as this one did, and seat belts are not worn, the occupants are usually ejected, and the vehicle rolls over them.

Colquitt/Miller County Fire and Rescue Units used the Jaws of Life to get into the vehicle. Kelly was treated at the scene and taken by ambulance to the local hospital with visible injuries.

According to investigating officer, TFC2 J. C. Roberts, the contributing cause of the accident was due to the driver lost control.

The damage to the vehicle was extensive. It was removed by wrecker. The vehicle was owned by Cristi Y. Gray of 105 Ryan Ct. Bainbridge.
